Creating transforms using arrays
Arrays in business object maps can be represented in two
ways: zero base style dot notation (array.0)
and one base style bracket notation (array[1]).
A dot is a valid character in a field name and by default, the business
object map editor interprets dots as part of the name and not as
an array index. Therefore, inputs and outputs to transforms will
appear to be unresolved even though the map is valid and will still
run.
About this task
By default the business object map editor creates array
references using the one base style bracket notation:
If you have an existing business
object map that uses the zero base style dot notation, you will need
to enable the preference to correctly interpret the dot as an array
index.
To select the check box so that the business object map editor interprets dots as an array index and not as part of the field name, follow these steps:
Procedure
- From the Business Integration perspective, click .
- Expand Business Integration in the list and select Business Object Map Editor.
- Select the Tolerate deprecated zero base style of array indexing check box and click OK.
What to do next
Note: If the array indexes are edited in the Cardinality tab
of the Properties view, the business object map editor will automatically
convert the zero base style dot notation to one base style bracket
notation.
